Good for you. I have dated women 30 years younger. Do tell

I'm not so sure I'd admit that if I were you! 30 years younger? I've heard of 20 yrs makin' it or around such, usually with an affluent man and a needy woman, but for me the younger man thing is definateley entertaining either trouble or a babysitting situation -of course a few years doesn't really make a diff- but 10 +? Makes you kind of wonder what you are looking for..... I guess in the end tho, all anyone ever wants is to be happy, right? To each their own.

Don't worry about me so much. I can handle it. I didn't mean a LTR, just dating casually at times. Like DD said
" Age is just a number." Some people just click and have fun. Others sit around and complain.
You are only old as you want to be.

I think it's more important to share the same values & interests and perhaps the same generation. A (male) friend recently suggested I try an older man, says the younger ones are "just trouble." Maybe....???

All joking aside, you're right. Age is unimportant. As long as the shared values, interests (somewhat), the compatibility, and that spark are there, among a few other things...then there are possibilities.
